Ecomuseums

The Ecomuseum is an environment, not only in a physical sense, but also as a twist of human events.
It is an expression of man and of nature as everyday life happens, and traditions and culture evolve.
It is a lively place, whose inhabitants have decided to convey their own history and identity.

It is an interpretation of special spaces and places, we ought to know and admire but, most of all, experience.

It is a full-immersion in nature, in old town centres - that are wisely enhanced -, in artisanal workshops, in very close contact with the local people.
The Rete degli Ecomusei del Trentino (Network of Trentino's Ecomuseums) connects the eight Ecomuseums that have been acknowledged in the Autonomous Province of Trento and that are active presences in the area. The Network, which has been originated in the project "Mondi Locali del Trentino" ("Trentino's Local Worlds") wants to be an instrument of debate, exchange of experiences and mutual support for Trentino's Ecomuseums in their path of growth and activity.

The Ecomuseum was born in 2005 from the commitment of the community with the support of the administrations of the municipalities of Civezzano, Fornace, Albiano and Trento aimed at sustainable development, protection and enhancement of an area with unique characteristics.

L’Ecomuseo si estende sul territorio dei 6 comuni delle Giudicarie Esteriori e su quello di Tenno, tra le Dolomiti di Brenta e il Lago di Garda, nel Trentino sud-occidentale. Nell’arco di 30 km in linea d’aria, passa dai 70 m slm dei paesaggi mediterranei di Tenno ai 3.173 m slm della Cima Tosa.

The ancient jurisdiction of Castellalto includes the territories of the municipalities of Carzano, Telve, Telve di Sopra and Torcegno, located on the southern side of the chain of Lagorai, between the course of the streams Ceggio and Maso, in the middle of Valsugana.

L'Ecomuseo coincide nella sua estensione con la Val di Peio e si addentra profondamente nel Gruppo dell’Ortles-Cevedale tanto da poter essere considerata una delle zone a più elevata altimetria di tutta la Provincia

"Journeying" is the element bringing together and characterising the area, its history, inhabitants and economy

The Ecomuseum is an important outdoor museum for the valley from a cultural and historical point of view and shouldn't be missed

Gli itinerari avvicinano chi li percorre alla quiete del luogo e alla cultura del territorio

Nel Vanoi l’Ecomuseo ha organizzato i siti a partire dall’individuazione di 7 temi: l’acqua, il legno, l’erba, la pietra, il sacro, la mobilità, la guerra

Dalle sorgenti di Rava al Brenta, comprende il territorio dei comuni di Bieno, Ivano Fracena, Ospedaletto, Samone, Scurelle, Spera, Strigno e Villa Agnedo, alle porte del Lagorai, nella Valsugana orientale
